Holy crap, my step-dad has a new blog too and nobody even told me.

You found it before anyone had time to tell you about it. :) Who's next -- Rusty?

Had one for a while, just didn't tell you about it =P

Setting up a slightly less sucky one, though.

Ryan, if 'coolpants' is a word, what about 'suckpants' ?

Do you have a license for that word creation, sir? :P

Nope, but I don't need one, cuz I didn't create it. Google's got my back. Take THAT, language police!

I'm not sure I'd base any linguistic rules on word usage by a person who can't spell "the" correctly even once in an entire paragraph! :)

Bah. Bah I say! The fact that the internet is a seething cesspool of unlicensed word creation does not excuse the right-minded individual from attention to the rules of proper linguistic innovation! You should have applied for a dispensation first!

A dispensation from whom? Where do I apply? Help me, English Major Felicity, you're my only hope!

Why yes, any English major can give you a dispensation.

However, I'm not sure 'suckpants' merits such a distinction!

Then what's the antonym of 'coolpants'? 'Uncoolpants'? That's just lame.

WoW

Just by reading the first paragraph of your step dad's latest blog entry, I'd say he needs to be writing detective novels for a living, or the plot to Max Payne 3.

I thought you had not read that book. Are English majors entitled to referencing materials they have not read? I think this may also be a breach of regulation.
